Devices and browsers

Tie a user to the browsers they have registered.

Find it at Devices

With browser restriction on, a user may sign in only from a browser they have registered. A new browser has to be confirmed by a one-time code before it can be used.

This is a per-person setting rather than a group one, because the registration belongs to an individual browser on an individual machine. Use this page to see what each user has registered and to remove a device they no longer have.

What the list shows

Device Name

The browser and machine that was registered.

User

Who it belongs to.

Their sign-in address — the search box filters on this.

Actions

Remove the registration. The user must confirm a new code next time.

How a user registers a browser

1 Browser restriction is switched on for them, on their user record or in bulk.
2 At their next sign-in from an unrecognised browser, they are sent a one-time code.
3 Entering that code registers the browser, and later sign-ins from it go straight through.

Removing a device is the reset

There is no "re-send code" action. Deleting the registration here is what forces the user to confirm again — that is the fix when someone gets a new laptop or clears their browser data.

A registration is per browser, not per person

Chrome and Firefox on the same machine count separately, and clearing cookies can lose the registration. Expect a user with several machines to appear here more than once.

Remove lost devices promptly

A registered browser on a lost laptop stays trusted until you remove it here.

This page lists what has been registered. Switching the restriction ON for someone is done on their user record.

Turning it on for a user

1 Go to Users → All Users and open the person.
2 On the Security card, set Enable Browser Restriction to On.
3 On the Browser Devices card, set Max Allowed Browsers to suit how many machines they use.
4 At their next sign-in they are sent a one-time code to register that browser.

Enable Browser Restriction on the Security card. This is the switch that limits someone to browsers they have registered.

The Browser Devices card, lower on the same page. Max Allowed Browsers caps how many a person may register; Register Browser on Next Login lets someone through without a code when they are stuck.

Rolling it out to a team

Users → Bulk Manage Users can set Browser Restriction across a selection in one action, rather than opening each record.
